Don’t rush to book the first air duct cleaning company you find online.
Before you spend a single dollar, take a few minutes to inspect, verify, and prepare — it could save you time, money, and frustration later.
Here are 3 smart things every homeowner should do before booking an air duct services:
1. Inspect Your Vents and Returns
Start simple by remove a vent cover and take a peek inside.
Do you see dust buildup, debris, or visible mold? That’s your first clue. If you only spot light dust, a quick vacuum and filter change might help.
But if there’s thick dust, pet hair, or dark patches, that’s a strong sign your ducts need professional cleaning.
At Lopez Total Home Services, we often find that homeowners underestimate what’s hiding inside their ducts until they see what comes out during our cleaning process.
2. Ask About NADCA Certification
Not every “air duct services” in Phoenix follows proper standards.
Some companies use cheap equipment, skip key steps, or worse upsell unnecessary services.
Look for NADCA-certified technicians (National Air Duct Cleaners Association). This certification means your cleaners use professional-grade vacuums, HEPA filtration, and proven methods that protect your HVAC system and your indoor air quality.
Lopez Total Home Services proudly follows NADCA standards for safe, thorough air duct cleaning in Phoenix. Our technicians treat your home like their own no shortcuts, no gimmicks.
3. Check Your HVAC Filter History
Can’t remember the last time you changed your HVAC filter?
That’s your first red flag.
A clogged filter can circulate dust and allergens back through your ducts undoing any cleaning you pay for later.
Before scheduling a service, replace your air filter and note the date. This simple habit extends the life of your system and keeps your ducts cleaner longer.
